• the amount of information which falls within the display range 13 a increases. For example, if the display range 13a displays only 4 lines of information, 8 lines of information will be displayed.
• reduce the size of the characters that represent the information that is, it actually zooms out as shown in Fig. 13 C.
• the operation dial 35 is rotated clockwise by a predetermined amount (for example, 30 degrees) Then, when the display range 13a is rotated downward by about 5 to 15 lines by a predetermined amount (for example, 30 degrees) in the counterclockwise direction, the display range 13a is up to about 5 to 15 lines upward, for example. Moving. That is, the scroll is speeded up by the amount of zooming out.
• a predetermined amount for example, 30 degrees
• the input detection unit 1 5 determines whether or not there is an input to the rotation input unit 1 4 (S 1 0). If there is an input to the rotation input unit 14 (S 10, Y e s), the input is operated by the rotation detection unit 12 1 and the press detection unit 12 2
• the second scroll operating unit 14b is activated.
• the up button 4 2 A is pressed (S 22 2 up)
• the second scroll control unit 1 1 1 b activates the second scroll control unit 1 1 1 b.
• the second screen control unit 1 1 1 b moves the display range 1 3 a upward by one line (S 2 4 a). If the lower button 4 2 C is pressed (S 2 2, lower), the second scroll operating unit 14 b operates the second scroll control unit 1 1 1 b.
• the second scroll control unit 1 1 1 b moves the display range 1 3 a downward by one line (S 2 4 b). And moved the display range 1 3 a one line up (down) (S JP 2003/008238
• the first scroll operation unit 14a If the input to the rotation input unit 14 is rotation of the operation dial 35 (S20, rotation), the first scroll operation unit 14a is activated.
• the first scroll operating unit 1 4 a operates the first scroll control unit 1 1 1 a.
• the first scroll control unit 1 1 1 a reduces the size of a character or the like representing the information 1 1 7 a in order to increase the amount of information entering the display range 1 3 a (S 50). Operation
• the dial 35 is rotated counterclockwise by a predetermined amount (for example, 30 degrees) (S 52, CCW)
• the first scroll controller 1 1 1 a raises the display range 1 3 a by about 5 to 15 lines. Move to (S 5 4 a).
• the first scroll control unit 1 1 1 a lowers the display range 1 3 a by about 5 to 15 lines. Move (S 54 b). Then, after moving the display range 13 a upward (downward) by about 5 to 15 lines (S 3 4 a, b), the rotation detection unit 12 1 receives the rotation input to the rotation input unit 1 4 It judges the presence or absence of (S 5 6). If there is a rotation input (S 56, Y e s;), it returns to the judgment (S 52) of the rotation direction (clock or counterclockwise) of the operation dial 35. If there is no rotation input (S 56, No), the display mode is returned to the state before zooming in and fast scrolling (S 58). Then, the process returns to the judgment (S10) of the presence / absence of input to the rotary input unit 14.
• the same effects as the first embodiment can be obtained.
• the information 1 1 7 a heading is not used, but high speed scrolling is performed using zoom out.
• the display mode is restored by zooming in after high speed scrolling, information can be easily viewed after high speed scrolling.
• the above embodiment can be realized as follows.
• the above components (for example, the first scroll control unit 1 1 1) are provided to a media reader of a composition equipped with a CPU, hard disk, flash memory, and media (floppy disk, CD-ROM, memory stick, etc.) reader.
• a, 2nd scroll control part 1 lib) Read the media which recorded the program and install it on the hard disk, flash memory etc. Even with such a method, the above functions can be realized.
• the scrolling of the information displayed on the display means can be selectively and easily performed at different speeds using the common scroll operation means.
